ONEness of HEARTs
VOLUME 3
Part 28

1 March 1977

I am Mevlana.
We said, “Ya Allah,” [ya Allah==thank YOU for my God-given share, I accept without any complaint]
We started the journey saying, “Darling.”
Hearts became wine glass,
Our deep love [became] wine,
It [our heart] filled with all [humans],
It [our heart] found in all [humans].
When kal was said,
Worry was erased,
One knew the place of the destination.
Pleading was performed saying and saying, “Close Friend.”
Wing was opened to Close Friend.
Let hand be in your hand. [? Let hand be in his/her hand. ?]
The Lofty One connected my day,
“Let HIM make [it] permanent for HIS humans,” is said.
Amen.

To the one who says, "We hoped,"
We gave what he/she hoped for.
We congratulated the one who became the owner.
“Who is the one who owns?” is said.
He/she is the one who says, “We hoped.”
'To hope' is
What The One Who exists, will give,
It is the one that is waited for saying, “HE will give.”
However, in order to hope,
It is necessary to undress [the ego].
What I wear, does not give.

Birth [birth=coming to earth in body; birth==1. to come to one's senses, 2. migration to after earth life]
Is the sound of the universe, to the one who hits,
Is the ornament [of the universe], to the one who knows.

Path opens to the one who sees. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

“Let our pleading be in hearts,
Let our chat be in all [humans],”
He said, Ali came.
“I am Ali.
I took path,
I found hal in hearts.
To the one who asks about my place because of hal: [to the one who asks how I was granted my spiritual degree:]
Let Koran be in your tongue,
Let the one who arrived [in HIM] be in your heart.
The one who loves, the one whom he/she loves,
Let him/her say, “Ya Allah,”
Let him/her send his/her greeting.
The one whom the one who loves, loves,
The one who is close to his/her blood-to his/her life,
The one who fills the heart
Is my Allah’s Representative.
I came with his greeting.
I found the one who was lost, in congregation;
In [the case of] the ignorant one, I erased,
In [the case of] the wise one, I divided,
I spread under the sun. [sun==Prophet Mohammad]
I saw all as one,"
He said.
"Consider neither the ignorant as unfaithful
Nor the wise as different.
See all of them as one.
Take from all of them as one.
[when you do so:]
You erase the unfaith [that is] in the ignorant,
You divide the explanation [that is] in the wise. [you share the explanation of the wise one]
When it is like that
Both the ignorant and the wise give.

Ya Allah, Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah... [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]
The one who knows word
From earth, from sky,
The one who finds The Essence in his deep love [for HIM],
The one who is Kal’em to his RAB, [kalem=pen; Kal’em==secret/key of the universe]
The one who is Kur’an to his ummet,” [kuran=the one who puts together; Kur'an==Koran]
He said, Ali walked.


If I put my knee on earth,
I become the one who grants ‘tug’; [tug=horsetail attached as a sign of rank]
If I give my heart,
If I say, “Take [it], share [it],”
I find the one who burns [in heart].
Does the one who distributes his/her heart
Stay without deep love?
Knee [is] on earth, where is the heart?
With knee, let us be ‘us/we,’
With ‘us/we,’ let us take word,
Let us connect the word to deep love;
At that time, our knee finds place,
At that time, our eye sees Kaaba [that is the heart]. [Kaaba That is in the heart==Darling]
If I say,
“Let us open wing, let us fly,
Let us pass through the narrow bridge,”
It requires soft direction,
It requires body that exists, ego that disappears.
“What is ‘the body that exists’?” is said.
[it is:]
Not to come [to earth] in vain.
When ney player blows into ney, [ney=nay, a reed flute (often used to play Mevlevi music).]
Sound comes from nothingness,
Yet ney performs its duty.
What is its duty?
To be template for the sound.

“The one who hits,” was said,
Word about it, was said before:
The one who hits, finds
As well as the one who is hit. [every human, including the one who hits as well as the one who is hit, performs his/her duty as part of his/her test on earth...]
The one that[/whom] is hit gives sound, [i.e. he/she is like ney, template]
The one that[/who] hits [gives] breath. [i.e. he/she like the one who blows into the ney]

I am Mevlana.
Clerk knows the pen,
He/she writes, he/she walks.
[yet] What he/she writes belongs not to him/her,
But to the one whom he/she writes for.
Whomever the clerks writes for,
He/she gives his/her [the other person's] intention.

The one who takes [spiritual water], sees. [vision==to see HIM in HIS creations]

Each human pleads,
“My Allah,” he/she says,
He/she wishes.
The One Who takes [the wishes], sees the one who wishes.


Omar says:
The one who says, ‘let me run away from evil,'
Creates the evil him/herself.
My Allah makes [him/her] seek the [HIS] path like that.
The one who takes kernel from pomegranate,
Has no more complaint about difficulty.
The flower of the one who is drunkard
Does not wilt, why?
Because he/she tolerates every event.

If you trace circle, you see.
You start from one end,
You turn [around] the same circumference.
As much as you can widen, you expand,
You head toward all [humans].
If you trace [the circle] intermittently [with interruptions],
Then returns occur,
One stops at the returns.
It is not puzzle.
What is being said
Is the solution of the essence.
Why is it said,
“If your intention is without interruption”?
“How?” is said.
[if his/her intention is with interruption:]
He/she does not stay away from [spiritual] immaturity.
[however, if he/she is inclined toward spiritual maturity:]
He/she does not find remedy in interruption,
He/she desires the circle,
Birth is known like that.

Let one not be offended by disorderly order.
Because of The One Who is The Owner,
Let it be known that
He/she will see as HE gives,
HE will weave each event on the path that is good deed.
“Concrete judgment” is said,
One pleaded like that.
Let it be known that
The universe will ask,
Will roll up the one who is irresponsible.

“I gave my knee to the ground,
I pleaded like that,
I pleaded for the one that happens,” you say.
My Allah
Tied your pleading to the one that makes mature [spiritually],
Drove HIS each human to the path of good deed.

Be entrusted to my Allah.

Three advices came from Ali, take [them]:
Let you say:
“Let me laugh with the one who laughs,
Let me love with the one who knows,
Let me die with the one who conforms,”
Let you plead like that,
He said, he conveyed his greeting.

We pleaded,
We said, “My Allah,
What we witness is the one that we know that it is from YOU;
What we call as judgment is what we erase from heart.” [we leave the judgment to YOU]
Respect belongs to the one who loves;
Let your respect be plentiful.
Deep love belongs to the one who conforms;
Let your deep love be abundant,
Let it keep on splashing.
Let us say, “Amen,”
Let us be ONE with HIM.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

2 March 1977

I am Mevlana.
In the [current] day’s interpretation,
There is the issue of HIS human:
For the one who stays away from HAK,
His/her coming day is narrow [difficult].

My Yunus says:
From cause,
Issue opens,
Not question.
However,
The path of the one who says, “Allah,”
Is passed.

One passed the game. [the time of old religious beliefs, faiths is over]
The one who leans on [HIM]
Is the one who takes path toward the new one. [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
The new one: The one that is given to pleading. [ONEness of HEARTs, in general, teaches that pleading with Allah is very important. It is thought that the previous verses point out this fact…]
Let it be known that the power is in HAK.
The night of HIS human who says, “I am powerful,”
Is soon,
Let it be seen.
Say,
“The One Whom I lean on is my Allah,”
Wish for help to [for] earth, to [for] sky. [whether it is about earthly matters or the universe, always wish to HIM for HIS help]

The day that is waited for, is bud. [like bud of a plant]

Let one not say,
“Does the cold hit?”

Meydan belongs to the one who is on soft path.

The one who thinks that the support is in human [the one who thinks that support is provided by human]
Resembles [a] drunk who leans on demolished wall.

Meydan belongs to the ones
Who give place to respect
Not to number.
“Who is the one who gives place to respect?” is being said.
Judgment of value [is] in conformity of human to the order,
In the one who gives place to staying away from the event that he/she will not conform to.
Let one not fall in worry.
[in] The judgment about the event:
Majority gives the color of the water.
The one who stays in minority
Is obliged to conform to majority
In accordance with the value of human’s judgment,
[in accordance with] Allah’s consent.
Be at ease,
Erase the shadow. [i.e. perceive The Reality That is shadowless...]
[When]

Meydan is yours,
Path [is] yours,
HAK [is] yours,
[Then]
Who takes [would take] the word of religious fanatic?
When your saz is played, [saz=a stringed instrument (which somewhat resembles a lute).]
Your writing will laugh. [writing==destiny]
Our pleading is with [for] all [humans].

Ayran turns sour when it stays; [ayran=airan, a drink made of yogurt and water]
For that [reason]
It is necessary to drink, to make it be drunk before it turns sour.

Say to the one who says,
“We did not try to love,
We could not know HIS path”:
The measure of the one who loves
Comes from the one that/who is loved;
There are some who love hot too, [hot like in ‘hot pepper’]
However, everyone loves sweet.
Day opens to the new one, [the new one==ONEness of HEARTs]
The one that comes [teachings of ONEness of HEARTs]
Is loved like in the example of honey.
"Its time?" is said:
Until the day on which
The one who looks in the mirror
Fears.
“How?” is being said.
The one who looks in the mirror [and fears]
[is the one who is not on HIS path,]
Is the one that stone is put on his/her path.

My Yunus says,
“The advice of the one who says,
‘Let me educate’
Should be like in the example of flour:
When mixed with water,
It should find its value.
If it is like in the example of stone,
If it comes to the head of human…
[the one who is [spiritually] immature, yet who tries to educate:]
He/she knows without interpretation,
He/she stays without responsibility.
He/she sees him/herself as dark in the mirror,
As such he/she stays in fear.
‘That day’ is soon,
Crowd is calm,
Intention is judge. [during his/her test on earth, Allah judges human according to his/her intentions…]
[? [good] Intention rules [governs]. ?]

Omar says:
Judge knows his/her place,
Decides according to the level of events.
My Allah sees the events:
HE separates-nourishes the one who is right,
The one who goes on the path of HAK.
HE brings the place of the one who stays away from HAK
To the one that breaks up.
Be at ease,
Know that hand is in hand.
Goodbye.
Lailaheillallah Muhammedur Resulullah. [Allah is The only One to be worshiped, and Mohammad is HIS Representative.]

LOVE, SEE & SHARE:

Love all HIS creations;
See HIM in all of HIS creations;
Share HIS Meaning.
